How do you know Collins or Wash won't get 20 this season?.
How many seasons did Mcgoldrick score 20 in a season before he signed for us?.

Listen again. Listen to the squad he's creating, the ethos and the aim. The players buy into it, want to achieve something here.
He knows we need more players, but unless you want to be like Mel and spew money around then we have to be patient and wait for opportunities. PS having a good looking bank statement is no bad thing!

Do one Rosenior

That seems a little far fetched 🥶

If I were a manager, I'd register myself as a player and pick myself on the bench every week. Then I'd spend all game "warming up" and ignore the whole technical area rule.
 
Check mate EFL.
 
Yes I have been drinking.

I have a strong suspicion that Warne has a better idea of what it takes than you or I.

How do you know that we haven't?

We haven’t assembled Dad’s Army, will you please stop volunteering these unfounded generalisations about the squad?
I’ll once again provide you with some facts, we have so far signed Elder who is 28, Vickers who is 27, Ward who is 27, Wilson who is 23, Nelson who is 30, Bradley who is 31 and Washington who is also 31.
The first team squad includes Bird (22), Cashin (21), Rooney (19), Sibley & Thompson (21), Wildsmith (27) Barkhuizen (30), NML (31), Hourihane Smith & Collins (32).
The oldest outfield player we have is Forsyth at 34 and Loach is the oldest overall player on the books at 35.
Last season we had Curtis Davies (38), James Chester (34), Richard Stearman and David McGoldrick (35). The age profile of the squad this year is improved from last year.
Now specifically on the subject of Waghorn. At 33 is he an ideal signing? No he’s not. Another question, do we want to go into the season with only 2 senior strikers? No we don’t. So would it be logical to sign Waghorn on sensible terms if they can be agreed, to bolster the depth of the squad in the immediate, whilst potentially still looking to secure a younger striker to complete our 4 striking options for the season? Yes it would.
What are the other options? There are a fair few free agents, I’ve been looking through a list this morning. The youngest and most exciting would be Josh Maja at 24, I suspect he’s above our current means and ambitions. Assombalonga and Afobe at 30, could be good options but not sure if they pass your age test? Bas Dost, Islam Slimani, Mattia Destro? All former internationals, would be cheat codes at this level, also all 32-35 and unrealistic. Jonathon Kodija? Was a beast for a couple of seasons at Bristol City and Villa, but he’s also 33. Sean Maguire is 29, left Coventry in the summer, might not be a bad shout.  Macauley Bonne is 27 and scored at this level before so he could be another option. There really aren’t that many viable free agent options. We seemingly have to be sensible with the fees we spend. And any loans could be unproven. That’s the situation we’re in, maybe sign Waghorn to boost the depth and add an option, maybe don’t and look elsewhere 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

Get rid of that s**** Billy sharp one and I don’t care what we sing. 
 
Isn’t funny, isn’t actually good banter, just a bunch of pee ricks after too many shandies and a nose full of powder trying to provoke a reaction. 

Just looked back at some of the posts leading up to the signing of 34 year old David McGoldrick last year. Comments such as "a 1 in 5 player" and "doesn’t score enough goals" goes to show how difficult it is to predict what will happen when the season gets underway.
A pacey striker would give us a different option in attack but if we don't get one in before the deadline closes, it may be premature, as a few posters are doing, to write off our chances with what we currently have.

Most of them are too old for our fan base, doesnt matter if they're good are not

If everyone had always thought this way, we'd still be hunter-gatherers living in caves.
Hmm.
 
 Then again, looking around me at the world today,  country going to the dogs, younger generation etc. etc. you're probably right.

Who Napoleon?

Not especially short either. Thought to be just under 5’6”, which is a little above average for a French man in the early 1800s.  He was often seen with tall guardsmen which made him look short.
Still a git though.

We're now reaching unheard of levels of bed-wetting - unless you're part of Warne's inner circle (and it seems no-one on here is), then you have absolutely no idea whether we've been after any of the rumours - it's nothing more than fans speculating. If you're needing to wash your sheets because we don't seem to have been in for any of these players (without knowing whether we have or not) then it might be advisable to leave the forum alone for a few days - it really can't be good for your mental health to stress about whether we've seemed to try to sign a player that we may not even have been interested in....

Yes Ilson! Perspective is key to all this. Is Waghorn the best striker we’ll ever have? No.
Is Waghorn a capable squad addition to a league one side needing depth in their forward line? Yes.

its not about who is better though it’s about how good they are compared to the level.

And assuming wiki is right Didzy scored 9 and 2 in his last 2 seasons before coming to us and CKR 5 and 1 in his two seasons before becoming a Ram and cult hero. Your point is.....?? 
 

Of course it's not the future. Unfortunately for our future to get any brighter we need out of this league. So we need a short term fix. We don't have money to spend so there isn't a great deal out there.
We don't need him to hit 25 goals mate.
We need him to chip in. If all 3 strikers can get 10-15 goals each then that's fine. 
We're in League One.
Other ones mentioned like Afobe and Assombalonga are similar in the respect that their careers have taken a bit of a nosedive. But all three would potentially be capable of 10-15 goals in League one imo.

Our supply chain would need a song 
 
Hit the Rhodes Nat and don't you pass back no more, no more.
